Huang Jun said: "More than ten years ago? At that time, did he have a family? ”

The old man shook his head and said, "No, we were both young at that time, but at that time Xiao Fang had already known his current wife, and at that time, the three of us often went on expeditions together, we went many times, and a lot of things happened in between, but there is one thing that I haven't figured out until now."

Huang Jun said: "In other words, they weren't married at that time, and Fang Li hadn't been born yet, right?" ”

Old Man Dao; "That's right, that's right. I remember one day Xiao Fang and his wife at the time went out on an expedition, and I was delayed because I didn't go because of some things. But when they came back from that expedition, it became a little strange."

Huang Jun said: "What a strange method? ”

The old man said: "That time, we originally agreed to go together, but then I didn't go. So they went first, and when they came back, they didn't come to me. I thought it was strange because they usually come to me when they come back from a trip and share their adventures with me, but they didn't do that. Then I couldn't take it anymore and went to him, and I remember it was just dark that day, and when I came to their house, well, I was living somewhere else, but they lived here. I was standing in this position and saw the lights on in their house, and I was about to go in, but then I noticed a man standing in the corner."

Huang Jun said: "Standing alone? What kind of person is it? ”

The old man said: "That person is very strange, he looks like a peasant, dressed in tatters, they have their backs to me, plus it is dark, I don't see his appearance clearly, he has been looking at the house, as if he is paying attention to something, I still thought it was strange, I was trying to ask what they wanted to do, but then I found out that in addition to that person, there were other people standing in the corner, well, there were more than a dozen of them, but it was too dark at the time, and they didn't speak, so they didn't see it at once, I shouted."

Huang Jun said: "Are those people all dressed the same?" ”

The old man said: "Yes, the same dress, I shouted at the time, I wanted to ask them what they were doing there, but after they heard me shout, I don't know why, they ran away without saying a word, and before I could react, I saw that they ran away without a figure."

Huang Jun said: "So, didn't you try to chase them at that time?" ”

The old man shook his head and said, "No, I was only thinking about Xiao Fang and the two of them, when I went in, I saw Xiao Fang come out, he saw me, he was very surprised, probably he didn't expect me to come so late, and then he asked me what I was shouting, I also felt strange at the time, so I asked him, why a group of people gathered around the corner of their house?" ”

Huang Jun said: "So, how did they answer? ”

The old man said, "They? Xiao Fang also felt very strange after listening to it at the time, and said that it shouldn't, how could there be people around their corner, I also think it is strange, Xiao Fang usually gets along with people very well, and he will not be anxious with people, nor will he offend people, besides, he will not offend such a group of farmers, what is going on. I was also confused. Then Xiao Fang asked me who those people were, and I casually said that they were a bunch of peasants dressed in tatters."

Huang Jun said: "How did Xiao Fang react to this matter? If my guess is correct, Xiao Fang's reaction should be a bit big this time, right? ”

The old man said: "That's right, you guessed it right, Xiao Fang's reaction this time was indeed a bit big, they thought I was lying to him at first, but then I described the detailed dress of those people to him, his face, including his wife's face was white at that time, I looked bad, although I don't know what happened, but this matter obviously had a great impact on Xiao Fang, I didn't say it at the time, just looked at Xiao Fang"

Huang Jun said: "And then? Xiao Fang won't blow you away, right? ”

The old man said: "That's not true, at that time, Xiao Fang and the two of them seemed very flustered, but they were more afraid. I have been on so many expeditions with them, and this is the first time I have seen him afraid of something, I felt inconvenient at the time and wanted to leave, but Xiao Fang held me tightly, did not let me go, and let me into the house. After a while, Xiao Fang's face recovered, and they looked at me as if they wanted to see me as a flower, and finally sighed"

Huang Jun said: "I think, Xiao Fang must have told you something at that time/"

The old man said: "That's right, next, Xiao Fang didn't mention the people who were around the corner of their house, but he told me about their adventure."

Huang Jun said: "This is just right, I am also very interested, can you tell me about it?" ”

The old man shook his head and said, "No, I can't tell you"

Huang Jun said: "But, why, you have already told me so much, why can't you tell me the story of the year, don't you want to suffocate me, just tell me, this may be very helpful to Fang Li's condition"

The old man said, "Actually, I have some guesses about the condition of that little girl, and it's not that I don't tell you, but Xiao Fang didn't say the whole thing too clearly at that time, and I don't know if it's because he's too tired, or because he doesn't want to tell me at all, and he didn't say it in such detail."

Huang Jun said: "So, what did he tell you at that time?" ”

The old man looked at Huang Jun strangely and said, "I can't tell, in short, it's very weird." He told me that the two of them had gone into a strange village and that there was no one in it. The village was in a barren mountain, and then they encountered some strange things, and finally they managed to escape."

Huang Jun said: "It's that simple? Can you be specific? ”

The old man said: "I am more anxious than you, I asked him at the time what exactly happened, but when it came to this, the novel refused to say more, just told me not to ask me, and told me not to go to their house in the future." Said those things were already chasing them."

Huang Jun said: "Chased over? Could it be the peasants who gathered around their homes? ”

The old man said: "I didn't think about this question clearly at the time, but after so many years, I thought it clearly. At that time, Xiao Fang must have been afraid of those things around the corner of their house, and the reason why I say those things is because when I think about it now, those things are probably not people."

Huang Jun said: "Did Xiao Fang tell me this?" ”]

The old man said: "It's not a novel, I feel this way myself." I didn't think much of it at the time, but because the situation was so special afterwards, I thought back to the situation over and over again, and now that I think about it, those people standing in the corner seemed extremely unusual."

Huang Jun said: "What an unusual method? ”

The old man said, "You know, I was young then, and my eyes were much better than they are now. And I often go out to explore, I may encounter any difficulties at any time outside, and I can't see it if my eyes are not good, but at that time that group of people were lying in the corner, I just didn't see it, at the time I thought it was my own negligence, but now that I think about it, it makes no sense at all, if they have been lying there, I shouldn't have seen it at all."

Huang Jun said: "Just this one? ”

The old man said: "No, second, those people, I think about it now, they are dressed very strangely, they are just authentic peasant dresses, some of them are still shallow mud, judging from the clothing and temperament, it is obvious that they are people who have been working in the fields for many years, but this is an urban area, and it is a prosperous urban area, no one will come out dressed like this." Moreover, there are no farmers in the vicinity for a long time, and they are all migrant workers who come here to work, so it is impossible for these people to appear inexplicably. Later, I did some research on the migrant workers in the neighborhood and some other suspicious places, but I didn't find the people I found that night. I've seen those people once and if they're nearby, there's no reason why I can't find them."

Huang Jundao; "So, what else?"

The old man said: "And the most important one is that when Xiao Fang called those people at that time, he didn't use those people as a title, but said that those things chased over, what were those things?" I didn't realize it at the time, but in hindsight I figured out how it could be those things, if it was human. And, when I think about it now, when I saw those people, I also felt a little yin."

Huang Jun said: "To be honest, do you often see these things outside? ”

The old man shook his head and said, "We have explored a lot outside, and we have encountered a lot of strange things, but this is the first time we have seen this kind of thing like this, I am not sure, these things are doubts that I thought of afterwards, and finally deduced them."

Huang Jun said: "So, what happened later? What happened next? ”

The old man shook his head and said, "It's strange here, and then nothing happened, it seems to be normal, and I haven't found anything else." Later, when I went to Xiao Fang's house again, I told Xiao Fang about those things, but Xiao Fang didn't seem to care at all, no, it wasn't that he didn't care, and he couldn't even remember what happened that night, even his wife. Later, I also asked them what happened during that expedition, but they didn't say a word, and then I didn't bother to say, and then, because of some things, I left this place, and I didn't come back until a year ago, and when I came back, I learned that Xiao Fang and his wife had passed away."

Huang Jun said: "There is one thing, I am very strange, why do you tell me so much? It stands to reason that this is the first time we've met, so you shouldn't trust me so much."

The old man smiled, "It's very simple, because I know you."

Huang Jun was taken aback and said, "You know me?" ”

The old man said triumphantly: "Of course, I know you, we will encounter some strange things when we explore, and naturally we will have to deal with some strange people, and among these people, Mr. Huang, you are the one we can't help but know."
